I've got a bit of a problem with the chain on my bike which is that it 'skips' - especially when I put a lot of power through the pedals, as you do when just setting off from traffic lights to pick up speed or whatever. It's really inconvenient because it throws me and sometimes my feet come off the pedals. Not ideal to lose your seat on the bike when you're cycling in traffic!!
I took my bike in a month or two ago for its yearly maintenance check at the bike shop (because I basically know how to pump up the wheels and stick the chain back on but that's it!) and mentioned the problem for them to look at when they adjusted it, but they don't seem to have fixed it.
Does anybody know what the problem might be and how to fix it? I'm open to trying to fix it myself if that's possible.
